Angels on Call Homecare announced today that it is part of a movement to improve health care for older adults, contributing to a goal of continuing to expand and grow age-friendly care.
As part of the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative, The John A. Hartford Foundationand the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, in partnership with theAmerican Hospital Association and the Catholic Health Association of the United States, are helping health care organizations implement a set of evidence-based interventions specifically designed to improve care for older adults.
Collaborative learning opportunities across the movement bring together health care teams committed to sharing data and improving together. All teams strive toward reliably implementing age-friendly best practices across hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies and primary and specialty care settings.
“At Angels on Call Homecare, we don't just care for older adults-we help them rediscover who they are. Our participation in the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative reflects what we've always believed: the most powerful care starts with purpose, not diagnosis. Our approach to Dementia and Parkinson's care is rooted in one question-what still brings this person to life? From there, we build everything else. This isn't just recognition. It's validation of the future we're already creating-one where aging at home is meaningful, personal, and filled with dignity.”- Eric Dalton, Vice President, Angels on Call Homecare
Angels on Call Homecare now joins an international group of more than 5,200 health systems working to tailor care to patients' goals and preferences and to deliver care that is consistently of the highest quality.
The initiative is based on a series of practices focused on addressing four essential elements of care for older patients:
— What Matters: Know and align care with each older adult's specific health outcome goals and care preferences including, but not limited to, end-of-life care, and across settings of care.
— Medication: If medication is necessary, use age-friendly medications that do not interfere with What Matters to the older adult, Mobility, or Mentation across settings of care.
— Mentation: Prevent, identify, treat, and manage dementia, depression, and delirium across settings of care.
— Mobility: Ensure that older adults move safely every day in order to maintain function and do What Matters.
“This recognition is more than a milestone-it's a mirror of who we are. As a family-owned homecare agency, we've always believed that aging isn't a decline, it's a new chapter. Being part of the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement affirms our mission to deliver care that's not only clinically excellent, but deeply personal.”
